Patented July 23, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.

This invention relates to display brackets; and, more particularly, onedesigned for advertising purposes.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a shelf to holdmerchandise, and which is adjustable so as to most advantageouslydisplay the same.

Other structure is designed to carry advertising matter and priceinformation.

Another object of the invention is to devise a compact, efficient Wallbracket, capable of adjustably displaying merchandise in the mostefficient manner and utilizing this structure for price and advertisingmatter.

Other objects of the invention will be disclosed in the specificationand claims forming a part of this application.

In the drawing:

Figure l is a front elevation of the display bracket;

Figure 2 is a side elevation, partly in section;

Figure 3 is an exploded View of some of the elements in perspective;

Figure 4 is a vertical section taken on line 4-4 of Figure l; V

Figure 5' is a detailed vertical section taken on the line 55 of Figure2;

Figure 6 is a modified form of the invention showing the advertisingdisplay on front and sides instead of only in front as shown in Figure1; and

Figure 7 is a horizontal section taken on line 'l-l' of Figure 6;

Referring to the drawing, in which similar parts are designated withlike numerals:

Numeral 8 designates an arm having screw holes 9 in a vertical legportion l6. Extending from the vertical leg portion in at a substantialright angle is an elbow H having a pivoted ear l2 adapted to receive abifurcated pivotal joint l3 with a bolt M extending therethrough andheld in place by a wing nut l5 supported by the joint [3 is a circularshelf 86 adapted to receive merchandise to be displayed. The elbow H andthe bottom portion of the leg ill have angular faces cut insubstantially the same plane to receive a brace H which is secured byscrews l8 and forming the hypothenuse of a substantial triangle.

Supported by the brace H, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, is a displayboard 19 having channels 20 formed around the outer edges along thesides and bottom to receive display advertising, in the form of a sheetof material, such as cardboard. At the extreme bottom of the displayboard IS a space is formed to receive a price placard 22, projections 23extending out from the edges'of the channels 20 to receive the placard,the channels 20 extending beneath said projections 23.

Formed around the sides of the top 24 of the shelf 16 are grooves 25adapted to receive display cards, or other advertising material.

In the modified form as shown in Figure 6, the display board l9 extendsaround the sides and front instead of only on the front, and issupported on the sides by the leg l and elbow II which are fiat sided.

As actually used, the arm 8 will be screwed into a wall or support andthe circular shelf i6 tilted to the desired position and the wing nut ltightened to hold the same in position. Merchandise is then placed onthe circular shelf and I an announcement in connection with the same,

such as price, placed by way of cards in the grooves formed in the sidesof the shelf. Other display indicia or announcements are placed in thechannel formed in the display board It, the

display board further serving as a brace andsupport for the shelf, arm,and elbow. Under this arrangement, a very unique, strong, and compactdevice is provided which serves a number of purposes in connection witha display bracket.

Numerous variations may doubtless be devised by persons skilled in theart without departing from the principles of my invention. I, therefore,desire no limitations to be imposed on my invention, except such as areindicated in the ap pended claims.

What I claim is: I

l. A display device comprising a base adapted to be secured to a wall, abracket extending lat erally from said base near one end thereof, abrace secured to the outer ends of said bracket and base and formed as aplate having its opposite edges grooved to receive interchangeableadvertising signs, and a platform fixed to said bracket to supportobjects intended tobe advertised by said signs.

2. A display device comprising a base adapted to be secured to a wall, abracket extending laterally from said base near one end thereof, a bracesecured to the outer end of said bracket and base and formed as a platehaving its opposite edges grooved to receive interchangeable advertisingsigns, a platform fixed to said bracket to support objects intended tobe advertised by said signs, said platform having an apron dependingfrom its periphery and channeled to receive additional interchangeableadvertising matter relating to said objects.

3. A display device comprising a base adapted to be secured to a Wall, abracket extending laterally from said base near one end thereof, a bracesecured to the outer ends of said bracket and base and formed as a platehaving means to support interchangeable advertising signs, and aplatform fixed to said bracket to support objects intended to beadvertised by said signs.
